I am a licensed therapist and certified drug and alcohol counselor providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families through the Associates of Behavioral Health group practice. I work with adults of all age and specialize in individual therapy for young adults or “millennials” aged 18-30 managing substance abuse, mood disorders, and life-stage transitions. Using a Strength-Based Approach, I aim to empower clients to identify and utilize their own talents, resources, and abilities to cope with adversity.

About Me

I graduated from the Clinical Social Work Program at Loyola University Chicago in May 2015 receiving a Masters of Social Work. I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) through the State of Illinois. In addition, I completed a specialized training program requiring 500 clinical hours and 3 additional masters-level courses, resulting in achieving my license as a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC).

In 2015, I began working as a therapist at Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital through the Center for Addiction Medicine Partial Hospitalization Program and Intensive Outpatient Program. I provided individual case management, led group therapy sessions, and conducted psychoeducational lectures on topics including relapse prevention, anger management, stress management, boundaries, communication skills, and art therapy.
